[hr]
Kite had followed each match closely. From the unexpected defeat of Caesar, to the morale boosting victory of Slick. He'd studied each player. The mink, the oil man, the vector woman. He was intent on learning all he could. And why wouldn't he have been?! THEY WERE ALL SO DAMN COOL!! Things he'd never seen, things he'd never dreamed of seeing. He loved it so much. Well, maybe he didn't like the part where his crew mates got hurt. But the rest of it was great! Especially if it [i]didn't[/i] end in the destruction of his newfound home among the Red Rum Pirates. He would have hoped to build his own ship for them to sail at some point, but right now, the Rum Runner was theirs. 

Still, something of a foreboding thought sneaked its way into the ship sailing the waves of his mind. What if he lost? As it were, his time on the Rum Runner was short. Not long had passed since their battle with Krabbe and his crew. On top of that, he'd already been through quite an ordeal as his prisoner. That didn't include the time spent patching up and fixing the Rum Runner, along with the his lack of sleep, and the minimal time he'd spent relaxing. What if he couldn't win? He swallowed hard. No, that wasn't a good train of thought. If he left things like that, he would surely lose. Besides, a crew wasn't the individual. It was all of them. Even if he couldn't manage, he would just have to believe in the other members of the crew. He nodded, continuing to watch as things played out. 

[color=fff200]"So, what comes next?"[/color] He asked nobody in particular after a brief silence. [color=fff200]"Will Bonesword fight next? I mean, we're not the only Pirates on in hot water here."[/color] He glanced at Runch and his crew. It wasn't just the Red Rums anymore was it. At least not while they were traveling together. Well shit. Guess they were all in hot water. Or... Hot milk in the case of the Cereal Man and his crew.
